RISALAMANDE (DANISH MILK RICE) WITH RASBERRY SAUCE

Risalamande is a classic danish christmas dessert, which is enjoyed in almost every danish home around christmas, and especially, on the night of the 24th of December where we hide a almond in the big dessert bowl of risalamande, and whoever gets the almond wins a present. This means, if you have a competitive mind (and a sweet tooth) like I do, you will have eaten A LOT of this stuff.

Surprisingly, it never gets old! since becoming vegan I haven‘t quite enjoyed my risalamande the same way i used to, but I think i finally cracked the code to the perfect balance between creamy and sweet, with a little bit of bite from the almonds. It‘s paired with the tartness of the rasperries and make a perfect match!

Make this for Your family and friends over the Holidays or as a treat for yourself.

Enjoy!

DIRECTIONS:

Add Milk and rice to a pot and bring to a boil while watching it carefully.

Let it boil for 2-3 minutes while constantly stirring so it doesnt stick to the bottom and then turn the heating on low, put the lid on and leave it for 20-30 minutes while checking up on it once in a while and adding more plantmilk if needed.

When the rice have completely softened put it aside with the lid on and let cool. Meanwhile, whip the cream into thick and fluffy whipcream and chop the almonds into small pieces.

Add the vanilla powder to the whipcream, and add both almonds and whipcream to the milk rice when it is completely cooled.

Cool the milk rice in the fridge and prepare the hot raspberry sauce with adding the raspeberries, sugar and water to a small pot and mashing the raspberries while it heats up (i personally use a potato masher, but you can use whatever you like) mash all the raspberries into small pieces and let it heat on medium heat, then add chia seeds and let it sit for a few minutes until your dessert is all ready to be enjoyed!
